Nearest railway station to Goa

I want to book to some train tickets from Delhi to Goa. I need to know which is the nearest railway station to Goa. I have tried looking on the map, but I am not a very good map reader.
Please let me know if coming from Delhi which would be the nearest train station and which areas would be near it.

Thanks in advance.

 

Margao and Vasco-da-Gama are the main railway stations in Goa. Both are very busy stations. If your train is coming from Delhi, my guess is it will stop at Vasco-da-Gama. But that's just my guess. Please check the detailed schedule of the train for details. But both Margao and Vasco-da-Gama is closest stations to Goa.
